I recall great gnashing of teeth and angst over Going Rogue prepurchase and the specifics of the "Complete Collection", well Ocho posted this a little bit ago...
How much will the Complete Collection Item Pack cost?
For players who wish to purchase the Complete Collection Item Pack separately, the Item Pack has a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $6.99 USD (€5.99 / £4.99). The Complete Collection Item Pack will only be available digitally, through NCsoft.com
For those who do not recall, the Complete Collection includes these extras...
• Alpha- and Omega-themed auras
• Alpha and Omega themed costumed sets
• Four stance emotes
• The Shadowy Presence invisibility power
still a better deal to get the complete edition for $39.99, you get GR, all the goodies and 30 days of play time.
So broken down
GR - $29.99
CE pack - $6.99
30 days - $3.01
Not to bad to wait for launch.
To address your point, waiting is fine unless of course you were interested in playing Dual Pistols or Demon Summoning before July. However, as it is already mid-May, I suspect more and more people will hold off prepurchasing GR. I posted simply to provide a clear answer to the question of just how much the Item Pact was going to cost.
So the question was/is "What is the value of getting access to DP and DS early?"
If it was worth more than $12 to you ($15 for a month - 3 dollars from your number breakdown), then the prepurchase is the way to go.
At this point... if you haven't already bought it.... might as well wait. For me... my first account is paid up for almost another year, my second is paid up until nearly Christmas.... a free month is rather immaterial to me in value.
Oh no doubt, had they releashed the Kinetic Melee first I'd have preordered already. Though more and more I want to play DP, but can wait another month 1/2; maybe.
Hahahahahahaha!
While checking my email today, I found this...
This is an automated notification sent from our account security system. You logined your account successfully at 4:27 on April 26th form the 125.83.116.* range, but our system shows the 125.32.167.* IP range exists a large number of hackers.

This is obviously a scam, I've emailed it to the folks who need to know about it, but I found it so sadly comical I wanted to share a bit of it with y'all. Seriously, if they (the bad guys) want to rip us off, a [insert foreign language here] to English dictionary might come in handy. Anyway, watch your backs, and wallets, folks.
Sad.

I get that stuff all of the time in WoW. You'd think they could at least get the sentence structure and spelling right.

More Vet Rewards news
The 28th this game turns 81 months old... where has the time gone? Heck, I know one player - a good friend - who couldn't even drive when he started playing CoH, now he can drink, legally even. Ha!
Happy Birthday Paragon City! (in 3 months)
Keep NCSoft from shutting down City of Heroes : http://www.change.org/petitions/ncso...city-of-heroes
I can do that too...
But, the whole point of the thread was to inform my fellow denizens of Protector about news they might not otherwise trip over.
How about the Loyal Customer badge allow us 1 full year at half price .
But thanks for the heads up, I like these Vet rewards!
This is also very much worth reading up on...
now off to check Alpha status on my 50s.
Everything's looking good to me!
I also like the idea behind this thread... Sort of a mini announcements thread without all of the nonsense we usually cram into "Have Fun Here!"

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.
I have attempted to read that thread.....and now my brain hurts.
"Can play" is not a binary. It's a float.
There are some pretty low values of "can play" out there.
